BerkeleyGW software package version 3.0 release

We are happy to announce the release of the 3.0 version of the BerkeleyGW software package for excited states, using the GW method and the GW plus Bethe-Salpeter equation (GW-BSE) method to solve, respectively, for quasiparticle excitations and optical properties of materials.  BerkeleyGW is a general code based on quantum many-body perturbation theory that isContinue reading “BerkeleyGW software package version 3.0 release”

GPU Acceleration of BerkeleyGW has been selected as a finalist for the 2020 Gordon Bell Prize

Our work “Accelerating large-scale excited-state GW calculations on leadership HPC systems” (authored by M. Del Ben, C. Yang, Z. Li, F. H. da Jornada, S. G. Louie, and J. Deslippe) has been selected as a finalist for the 2020 Gordon Bell Prize. In this work, the GPU-accelerated BerkeleyGW has been successfully running at full scaleContinue reading “GPU Acceleration of BerkeleyGW has been selected as a finalist for the 2020 Gordon Bell Prize”
